What is your true trait? It may be that you are intelligent and cunning, perhaps even being shy, but keeping all your smart thoughts inside your head. In the fantasy book Artemis Fowl By Eoin Colfer, the book definitely shows examples of traits throughout all characters. The book starts off with 12-year-old genius Artemis Fowl, who is a millionaire. However, when his father goes missing, he must bring back his family fortune, and the only way to achieve this is to steal the rarest gold in the land: Fairy Gold. To do this, Artemis steals a sorcery book AND kidnaps a fairy and holds her up for ransom. With his unfortunate luck, he ends up stealing Captain Holly Short (Haha, get it? Short? Fairies?) of the LEPRecon force (Another very bad pun), and the retrieval squad comes and tries to take Holly back to the community. With the evidence that I am about to support, my claim or theme of this book is that appearances can often be misleading. The first reason for this claim is that even though Artemis can be intimidating and tough, he has a rarely seen “soft side”. The evidence for this is that at the very beginning of the book, Artemis intimidates a man named Nguyen so much, that he left very quickly, saying things like “Butler…show more content… The evidence for this is again from the first chapter, where Nguyen, a businessman, does not expect much from Artemis, but is shocked and even frightened by how intelligent he really is. Artemis also does not crack under pressure, which makes him able to distribute fear into a lot of people.
This is why Artemis Fowl can be very deceiving, and throughout the book, a very strange and confusing character to follow. There are three books throughout this whole series, so maybe the theme about Artemis will change, but, for now, this is who Artemis Fowl really is, and cannot deny his own true feelings
